Pluto User Manual v1.38
Power -
Integrated self-switching PSU means no messy external PSUs.
standard IEC connector can be used world-wide. The Pluto is a low power device
meaning no fans are required and hence it is silent in operation. An optional DC
input is also available.
Inputs -
2 BNC connectors provided for 422 (A1) or 444 (A1+B2) signals. The
Pluto self senses SD, HD or 3G and the frame rate of the incoming signal and
switches the outputs accordingly. Pluto works with all industry standard frame
rates. In 422 mode the Pluto can be used in "dual head mode" to allow separate
signal processing of 2 x 422 signals.
Outputs -
2 BNC connectors provided for output. The output standard and frame
rate will match that of the input. The output can be switched in the controls
between 422 and 444 and will transcode as required. Pluto can also be used to
convert from a 3G input to a dual stream 1.5G output.
Ethernet -
RJ45 connector allows users to connect to their network. The Pluto
uses a broadcast mechanism to establish connection and identify itself to the
Pluto control software, even if the host computer is on a different subnet. Once
connected the user can change the IP address according the their own
requirements.
LED –
No bright displays to distract the operator in the darkness. LED1 flashes
during a LUT being uploaded, LED2 is on when any LUT is active (applies only to
rack mount version).
Control Knob LEDs (2 Knob version) -
applied and GREEN in Bypass. Right Hand Knob is BLUE when CDL information
is available to download, otherwise GREEN. Knobs DIM to a very low level when
controls are not active.
USB –
The Ruggedised Pluto has a USB Port for a Kensington Trackball Mouse to
control the CDL layer.
